Actually, the very fact that this collection of festival records has appeared to the light of the day is already quite a good present to all fans of live Ukrainian music. Both for those who saw and heard these performances with their own ears or eyes – and, certainly, for those who have never had a chance during 2004-2006 to visit the festival. But the compilers went a bit farther in the pleasantries. First, the collection is released as two discs, even though there was no urgent need for that, the material could be squeezed on one disc. The two-disc release is just a sincere step towards the audience, for it is obviously easier to listen attentively to a disc lasting 40 minutes than to one that is twice longer, right? And another pleasant nuance: this two-disc release will be realized at the price of an ordinary, single one. This condition of the producer also brightly testifies to the primary objective of both the festival as a whole and this release in particular. Actually, the purpose is popularizing Ukrainian culture as such, laying paths to those people who never before paid attention to this kind of music. Both authentic examples and any creative displays based on Ukrainian folklore are in every possible way greeted and supported. As a result, by the way, that is exactly how the tracks were divided between the discs. On the first one – Ukrainian folk songs in the pure, raw form. Well, and the second one already represents modern music based on folk one – what they call folk-rock and with similar word combinations. Moreover, the release has also comprised a selection of pictures from the festival, therefore you will not only hear, but also see something. You will find a lot of familiar names on the both discs – and these are really the best names, it is by not chance that they are so much respected by the public. At that – far not only Ukrainian one. So, welcome to the Dreamland – and let you feel comfortable there...

...everyone who orders the "Folklore Polyphony" collection from us – will receive together with it the exclusive present: the collection "Sheshory Podilsky 2007". This collection was released in a limited number of copies for presentations, not for sale – consequently, you will not be able to find it in other stores. You should not delay that – this is a really rare opportunity!

One song, another one, and here it already seems that when performing they appear in some different dimension, fly up in sorrow and tranquility. Here the song fades, and in an instant the audience applauds sincerely - and these applauses seem to abruptly bring the women back on the scene. Possibly, too abruptly – and again they squint at the light, smile awkwardly. But in another moment a new song starts – and a new splash, new release in tranquility...

...this album contains, apart from the rest, songs for Christmas and Easter. However, the objective of that concert program was to demonstrate to Ukrainians the widest possible palette of Georgian singing – so, festive, lyrical, feast, humorous and other songs from various regions of Georgia, instrumental melodies, as well as solo singing could be heard there.

You are looking at a special, premium release. And it has two important specific features. First: the appearance of Vopli Vidopliasova at the festival Rock-Sich is represented here in full, without excisions. Second: the premium release has, certainly, appeared in a limited number of copies. A small one.

Inna Prokopchuk could be earlier heard in the folklore group "Lukiny Rosy". But starting from 2006, a new group at her participation began swiftly spinning up – actually, that is DrymbaDaDzyga. At that, the whirl sped up so quickly that the motherland did not even have time to really notice how another bright flower of folk-funk-rock bloomed in its fields.

On the one hand, breathing of the overcrowded hall, live communication, the impression of closeness. And on the other – even here, at the distance of a stretched arm, Mertvy Piven somehow managed to keep the atmosphere characteristic of them... transparent alienation, maybe. They seem to be here – but obviously somewhere else as well. Woven from sun and fog...

...good, high-quality recording. It will be able to bring pleasure not only to fans of Mandry, but also to all those who value concert albums as such – because here they have really "caught the tail" of the live energy, everything is precise. This is about the welcome. Well, and farewell...

This time this is an alive recording during a concert, a kind of distinctive unplugged, as Foma accompanies his singing with a guitar only. Still because of that songs do not lose anything. Most likely it, as usual, gives the opportunity to listen more attentively to singing itself, exactly to inner melody of the songs, and they do not lack it at all.

...the collection was compiled skillfully – the recording house "Kraina Mriy" is experienced in doing that. As a result, it is really interesting to listen to it: familiar pieces alternate with quite fresh ones, known groups – with those that are now only gaining speed. And two basic features unite all of these songs – good quality and inflammatory energy.

This one is a really powerful record – the best of the series. And, definitely, one of the best rock albums in general for the last couple of months. Besides, it presents a number of songs that haven’t had any official release yet – that’s exclusive!

Unlike condensed milk, this disc does not contain any surpluses of sugar. Rather, vice versa – the guys from Bram Stocker have once again demonstrated clearly who they are. First, they were named a punk-group, though merry. Now, emphasis has shifted a bit, therefore now Bram Stocker is considered though merry, but a punk-group.

...we can sincerely congratulate ourselves on release of the extremely nice disc – bright, and deep, and fresh at the same time. Along with the already well-known musicians, you will hear a number of teams for which only a couple of steps are left to loud glory. And we are sure: having listened to the disc, you will wish them to manage these steps as quickly as possible...

It would be possible to say that not the only but one of important characteristics of this collection is a special culture within – such that results in writing ambiguous texts. Such that results in searching for not quite trodden roads in creation of music. It is not a grand total, because there are exception here as well..

We should admit, the collection has appeared to be great – it is not just pleasant and interesting to listen to. It gives multiple occasions to be proud of that Ukrainian rock music, in spite of the frequently scornful attitude on the part of mass media, still not just lives on – but becomes more and more diversified, deep, strange, high-quality.

We can say only one thing for sure – look at the list of groups – so diversified musicians sound on the disk that no music preference will, most probably, remain unsatisfied. Provided, certainly, that the tastes revolve somewhere around rock music.

As you can see, this is already the second "Red Pill" – and it is nice to mark that the number of participants is growing. You will find here both old acquaintances and the "young blood" – the meeting will be interesting. For a large part of songs represented here, this is the first official release, they have not yet had time to see the light of the day as parts of albums.

Presumably, virtually each of us has once encountered such problem: you like a performer (a group), you like an album (albums), but for yourself you would compile the disc in a bit different way. Well, VV decided to do such work independently.

Each group here is a bright personality, expressive manner. I will not even single anyone out – in my opinion, each of them is worth our attention. Absolutely different, and differently talented – as it should be. And it is a sure fact that each will find a grateful listener.

...he is able to write real songs, that is not empty ones – it is not surprising that so many people have taken part in the given project. Thus, twenty talented, famous and not so much performers, twenty songs by "Srjabin" of different years. Twenty meetings with the clever and even rather elegant, but still punk.

The festival "Taras Bulba" gathers pace – and acquires more and more traits of alternativeness. And consequently everyone who is interested in rock music as a form of resistance, as a form of search, not form of earning money – should find this disc to their taste.

The only thing that surprises – why only now? For TNMK could sure already afford the luxury of a collection of "golden hits" a few years ago. Actually, they could have got engaged in this even since they released the second album – even then there would have been enough favorite tracks for a considerable collection.

At some party where Kuzma was the anchor, the guys from the band helped him to fill in a pause by improvising a samba based on the theme of "Sleep Alone" – and it appeared good. So good that it resulted in real cooperation – and here you see a full-value album of cover versions for Skryabin's song created by musicians of Smack Band.
